TULE DAD.
A Quaint Old California Character who
has Just Died.

From the Red Bluff (Cdl) Peoples Cause
Old "Tule Dad, a remarkable old mount
ain man. who early made name among
the hunters and Indian fighters OF the
Sierras, crossed over to the golden shore
about ten,days ago at jess Valley, Modoc
County, Cal He had reached the great
age of 103 years, and died at last with nina
unimpaired and vigorous as when he bad
but just passed his hat-century marx
"Tule Dad was born somewhere IN Mis-
souri, at the time St louis was the head
quarters of several big ftU-trading com
panies It was ny enlisting as hunter with
one of these that he found his way through
the Rockies and eventually across the Sierra
to California.
''Tule Dad is remembered by a number
of old Californians who are now on tne
Comstock. They looked upon him as being
a wonderful old man in the days or Az
when gold was first discovered. tie was
man who preferred hunting and Indian
fighting to gold digging.
A story is told Of him which will bear
repeating. In the early days some men
who were camped on the banks of the
Sacramento river, above MarysviHe, on
July 4, concluded to celebrate the day. They
began firing guns and pistols, and for an
hour or two kept up a lively fusillade,
half dozen black objects bObbing up and
down on the waters of the river. As these
objects drew nearer they were seen TO be
men swimming across the stream with their
clothing and guns on their heads. AS
soon as the swimmers got within hearing
distance of the party on the store the
leader of them sang out:
Nv HAIRS the war"
That was Old Tule Dad He was then
66 years.of age, and was able to outswim
even tine youngest Of his companions,
especially when he thought there was a
chance for a bout with the reds. Such
fights he looked upon as regular, legitimate
war;
He and party of Missouri friends had, it
seems, been duck hunting on the opposite
shore among the tules, and, hearing the
firing, imagined that an Indian fight was
going on. They therefore swan the river In
order to take a hand in the fun.
The mans right name was Samuel X.
Matney. He never married, and the rea-
son he gave for it was that he could not
'split an arnful of oven wood in half a
minute. He said the women always sang
out that they wanted an armful of wood
in Just half minute" Half minute, he
said, was too shorta time for him. The old
man was conscious to the last, and was
aware that his end was approaching. A
few hours before his death he talked with
those about him he told them that his race
was nearly ended, but said he was ready to
go, and remarked
81 haven't been very bad man. / never
did anything worse than kill Indians, and
don't believe that will be held against me. |
had to do it, The fact is that the old fellow
had really no conjunction in regard to
shooting Indians

Mary Anderson's Everyday MAKEUP

London Letter in the Boston Herald.
One thing in particular struck me about
Miss Anderson at the time, and that was the
fact of her being less like an actress than
anyone | have ever met in the theatrical
profession. SHE was almost entirely devoid
of that stage makeup" that is used to such
excessive extent by professionals. Her
pretty, graceful, clinging robe, with its low
corsage was ablaze with diamonds about the
neck and shoulders, and her slim fingers
sparkled with Jewels. and she had way,
remember of running one hand through her
loose, waving brown hair, that fell in curl
ing ringlets about her shoulders. She was
quite unlike the. Mary Anderson with which
the theatrical world-that is; the part that
constitutes an audieIlce+-is familiar. Stand
ing beside her this same night was very
ardent admirer and intimate friend of Miss
Anderson, from whom / have heard much
of the latter's character and personal attri-
butes since, and much that ! have heard en-
hances an opinion that / have long held,
that all professional people, whether actors,
artists or authors, lead two distinct lives
the one for the public, the other for them
selves and their friends. Since have known
Miss Anderson | have met many of her
friends. and there is not one who will say
that this beautiful actress is as cold as she is
invariably represented to be by a discrim-
mating public How little the public really
knows, though, after all.

Cleveland and Georgia.
From. the .AMeas GA Banner. VotcJtma,

From the Athens (G1) Banner Waterman
Mr.. Cleveland has manifested a kindly
disposition TOWARD the Georgia people In
awarding his best appointments he has not
been unmindful of our State, and has been,
in fact, unusually generous in elevating our
citizens to high office: He rendered Gen
Lawton the Russian mission, and within
the past few days the Austrian mission
He made Gen. jackson Minister to Mexico
He offered Col. Howell, Gen. Young and
Hon Henry r. Harris excellent places
He made Gen. Alexander Pacific railroad
director. In his appointments to Presiden-
tial offices within The State, he was generous
to the people, and to the better class
too, and he has displayed unusual generosity
in helping our younger politicians to good
clerkships in Washington If any man
should be popular within the State it ought
70 be Mr.. Cleveland and we believe that he
is generally popular with the people, not
outstanding the war that is made on him
by certain elements in the State. That he
will secure the vote of the State in the next
convention no one seriously questions, and
were he III any immediate danger now of
losing it his coming in the fall will be sure
to make him solid with the people And he
deserves all his popularity

GOSHEN,

Mrs. Miranda Gale recently returned
from Middlebury, where she had been
visiting her daughter, Mrs. Johu Hous-
ton.
Charles r. Capen of Tenville, Mich,
is visiting friends here in his native town,
after an absence of 80 years. He is a
brother of Nathan Capen, Esq, our town
clerk, the late Col. John Capen and Mrs.
human Allen. He has many friends
here who are pleased to greet him.
The grain crop has been below the av-
erage in quantity and quality of the
grain. We had good hay crop and
have had plenty of feed in our pastures,
so that stock of all kinds is looking fine
ly; and, in reviewing the season and its
outcome, we feel more like rejoicing than
we do like grieving.
The weather is delightful. and all have
harvested their potatoes, except two or
three, who will probably finish this week.
The potato crop has generally been very
fair. Some have had very good yield
of very good potatoes, and some have
had very light yields and very many of
them rotten; but as whole the potato
crop has been very much better in this
town than in any town about here.
